kernel source: make olddefconfig fails


Hya

To whom it may concern.

Symptom make olddefconfig fails, without much error message.

Situation Two packages are missing, bison and flex

Solution Install these two packages.

Discussion For some reason, situations like this happened. It was not easy without detailed error message. I guess only experienced linux users compile kernel, so it should not be much trouble.

Closing remark happy penguins!

cheers

The kernel source includes very detailed documentation. The top-level README file guides you to the requirements and instructions for building.
